Elon Musk has put his leadership of Twitter to a vote… on Twitter. The billionaire asked the question yesterday: “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.” It finished with more than 17.5 million votes, 57.5% voting ‘yes’ to him stepping down and 42.5% voting ‘no’. His subsequent tweet saying people should “be careful what you wish, as you might get it” might have been a premonition of sorts… It’s all happening as Musk faces growing criticism for unpopular policy changes to the site after his October takeover. The latest in a long line of gripes is preventing Twitter users from linking to rival social media sites, including Facebook and Instagram, and suspending several journalists’ accounts. Musk’s also copping flak for Tesla’s underperformance… Its share price is down more than 60% this year, with analysts calling the “activity” surrounding Musk “overwhelming”.
